Just based on this small peek, Krypton looks beautiful. I'm entirely fine with a sci-fi look here. I think Man of Steel will really convey the tragic and wondrous 'we achieved wonders which will be long forgotten' line which was uttered in Superman 78.

That's just it. I dont think it looks very sci-fi. Sci-fi as in less artistic architecturally and more practical and techy looking. Less LOTR and more Star Trek. More tangible than the crystal-tech in S:TM.

But it still looks really great and I'm sure it'll look fantastic in the movie itself.

Over the top flashiness. What glam rock is to rock. If I used the wrong word, I apologize.

I agree it looked kitsch in Thor. I really like the film, but for me the Asgard visuals end up looking kitsch because its too gold, too immaculate, and too cg, it ends up looking cheap-rather then some beautiful, heavenly plane of existence, it looks a bit naff, which is what kitsch is.

Remains to be seen how Krypton is portrayed but I hope it all feels a bit more solid, like a real living breathing planet and not some CGI creation.

The interior shots in Asgard looked mostly fine, but with the exception of Heimdal's observatory, all the exterior shots of Asgard looked too over-the-top polished and cheesy. Jotunheim looked worse though.
I dont want that in MOS and I dont think we'll get that at all.

Dream come true for me. As soon as I saw Thor I hoped Krypton could be half as incredibly well portrayed as that.

Obviously it'll be a little different, but so far it looks incredible

One of things I love most in Thor was the sweeping shots of the lanscape of Asgard... and you just know Snyder's going to kick ass with that

Hopefully they'll handle the actual sets and costumes better, though. I hated that stuff in Thor, too clean and shiny and ultimately fake-looking and cheesy to me. But Snyder's production design is always on-point, so I can't wait to see his Krypton. I mean, just looking at Jor-El's amazing costume, I already know I'll like Krypton's costuming a hell of a lot more.

Agreed, but I think a lot of that is because Marvel is trying to be the opposite of gritty realism, and is embracing elements of cheese and shinyness
